In this episode I’m chatting with the talented, passionate, award-winning and handsomely bearded James Patrick Cronin! We chat about Monsters, magic, being an actor, a narrator, and a proud and active member of the SAG-AFTRA union… and there’s even a surprise announcement in the mix that you’re not going to want to miss!

James Patrick Cronin is one of the most prolific narrators in the industry today, having recorded over 500 titles in just 6 years. He has earned seven Audie nominations and several Earphones Awards for his work in a variety of genres. He has voiced New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestsellers, Edgar nominees, and a National Book Award finalist. His audio work has made several Best Of The Year lists, and this summer he had the pleasure of reading selections from all the finalists’ work live at the Nebula Awards in Pittsburgh.

He holds an MFA in Acting and a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from East Tennessee State University. He has recently returned to his hometown, Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife and fellow narrator Julie McKay and their pitbull, Latona.

So, first off, this was one of my absolute favorite interviews but BE WARNED: we need like a double-explicit tag, at least for the opening… Chris and I were either extremely tired or drinking heavily, and quite possibly both!

Get a peek into what Chris is working on now, what he’s got coming up – and even a few spoilers dropped here and there!

If you’re familiar with Urban Fantasy and/or this Podcast, you may have heard of someone by the name of Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter – penned by author John G. Hartness, and narrated by yours truly. Well, familiar or no, this standalone short story is a real treat and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you!

A man steps into a bar. Cards stop flying across the felt. Drinks stop sliding down the bar. The piano player freezes mid-note. Trouble has arrived, and it wears its gun for all the world to see.

This atmospheric tale of love and justice has more in common with High Plains Drifter than with most Quincy Harker stories, but lives in the same world. Magic, whiskey, cards, cash, and bullets blend together in a creepy tale of revenge and redemption.

In this episode of our Urban Fantasy podcast, narrator Jeff Hays! Jeff Hays is the owner of the audiobook production company, Soundbooth Theater. He has narrated over 100 titles on Audible, and is currently specializing in the LitRPG/Gamelit genre.
